PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have a good friend James

Who believed the claims 

That a test would be able to tell

The real 'biological age' of his cell

James really wanted to know

He should have asked his Dr. No?

Took a test, expecting it to be the best

His 'real' age? We would be impressed!

When told the results, James flew into a rage

How could that be his biological age?

His demeanor went from mild to wild 

The test says his age is that of a child!

I asked him what age the test revealed

But James prefers to keep that concealed 

Good heaven!

I hope his secret age ain't, uh oh, seven

If that occured, would leave him shaken

If not stirred, don't know the fuss he's makin'

There's no need to get so shrill

He already has a license to kill...
